The Disclosure Pilot - A 2022 Update with Professor Dominic Regan

Introduction

‘Disclosure is still too much of a profit centre even, or perhaps particularly, in Business and Property cases - despite the Disclosure Pilot, which has helpfully forced an early concentration on where disclosure is truly needed and where it is not’

Sir Geoffrey Vos MR 31st March 2022.

We have come a long way since the Pilot was launched 3 years ago. It is here to stay and those who litigate in the Business and Property Courts need to understand the measures as well as the body of case law that has developed.

This webinar will explain how the Pilot came about and the core concepts it has created.

Recent mainstream developments will also be considered.
